Deep Freeze is a system-level program that prevents user changes from "taking hold" and reconfiguring or possibly damaging a computer. In CPS, schools should use the CPS enterprise version of Deep Freeze, available free from ITS.
Deep Freeze does not directly lock out users' privileges to make changes to a computer. Instead, it records a stable state of the system (saving an image to a hidden partition of the hard drive) and automatically restores it whenever the computer reboots, thus wiping out any changes made to the running system. That includes matters like intentional authorized software installations, and ordinary user document files being saved to the had drive; so special provisions are made for these situations.
